i dont scrog, but maybe you wanna throw a trellis net on the tall group so they dont fall over when they get heavy

all plant life below screen just buds stick up
all groth horizontal buds only vertical growth - at end of growth stick buds through holes

dats a true scrog
sum just use scrog like stake scrog screen about a foot below tops -only supports -not a true scrog

Yeah I tired tucking a shoot back under the screen after the "stretch"... And snap goes the Cola. So I decided no more Tucky Tucky after the stretch. That said the whole canopy (42"x32") is around 12"above screen level. I'd call this a SOG SCROG hybrid. 7 plants in that area is pretty tight so not a lot of training on group b.

so I did some research and there seems to be mixed feelings about the co2 exhale bags. So people report a noticable change others none. I just grabbed 2 of them for my room so well see. They are nice and brown though so they should have at least 3-5months on them. They will be in a space that is roughly 84"x45" so yeah.... Anyone with feedback on these bags give me a holler.

I will post up some updates tonight with pics. They girls are really getting frostier eveyday.

So here the photo update. The weather is taken just as the plants woke up so that's the overnight low. Group A in flower is filling out and building resin. GDP really starts changing colors early. Group B is officially out of control, with redonkulous 8-12" bud sites all over. I went a head and added 2x Exhale bags for CO2. They were nice and brown when I got them and puffed up nicely after being in the room for a while.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Im pretty sure I had my lights/plants set wrong. One or the other needed to be rotated 90 degrees for optimal coverage. They look even better now.

I've been kinda doing a manual light mover thing by using a horizontal pull and secure puley system attached to each light indipendantly so that they are both in a slightly different area daily.

I'm officially using the GH FloraDuo in flower now with the FF additives (Cha Ching, Beasties) w/ Blackstrap molasses and BC CalMag. I've been running around 1300ppm for the group at day 37 and 1200ppm for the group on day 26.

Shit's been running real smooth with now hickups to speak of. My Herojuana clone has finally fully recovered and is sprouting new growth. She just might make group D. I'm super stoked for this first grow it seems to be coming smashingly. Thanks to everyone for the help and feedback.

Personally I think them damn bags are shit, but I think 100 mushroom bags might do something so I cooked up a quick 100 bag boomer grow, threw it in the room to see how it worked out. Either way, whether it helps the plants or not it's a hell of a lot better than an Exhale Bag. I actually wish I had a CO2 meter to tell just how much they are putting off. Logic tells me that whatever fungus they have in those exhale bags is a slow growing fungus to be able to last six months(no way of knowing how long they've been on the shelf before that) while the cubensis eats up the entire substrate within 6 weeks putting off the same amount of CO2 in a much shorter amount of time.

So here's a couple quick updates from the "almost done" stage of things..... Dried initial trim done, and curing away. Unfortunately i wound up with only AK-48 & Power Kush. The GDP couldn't keep up with canopy hieght or root growth and just didn't turn out well, pretty much no crystals. :sad:

I haven't weighed it yet nut I'm guessing around .45-.55g/watt on box A. Box B will be coming down next week. Much larger buds on that one for sure almost all 12-20"

In other news a couple days ago I checked the room ti realize that 1 of my bulbs had burned out the day before. Bummer,
Since this whole project was 'on loan' and I will likely be giving it back in a couple weeks, I decided to invest.

A new 1k watt Lumatek, 6" Raptor hood, & 1k watt Hurtilux will get things started. Here's to a brighter future :fire:
